Frontpage is junk and full of propietary stuff. Dreamweaver is the best WYSIWYG editor around though it can write some bulky code. I personally use Homesite but hand edit my pages. Learn some HTML first before you do anything. You will have a better understanding of how things work and if you need to dig in the code, it makes it easier.
HostRocket is okay. I haven't heard much bad about them. I still like
HostMatters for their great support and low prices.
